Someone has been cheating on the monthly polls [Important Read]
🕑 Added 2025-07-04 17:00:17 +0000 UTCA group of concerned patrons came to me a few weeks ago about suspicious activity regarding the polls, particularly, the ones from January (Olivia’s), November (Hilda’s) and March (David’s). The suspicious activity included things such as a whole load of votes coming in last second to alter the final result of the polls.
Once I looked closer on the polls with weird behaviour, it was clear that there IS someone cheating on the polls. The main account has been narrowed down, and just for the sake of this person being sure I have them pinpointed, I can tell you a lot of our tampering fella:
They are polish, and use an e-mail server based in Onet
All of the sockpuppet accounts they use are made using polish servers
They all vote very close to each other for the same candidate. (and don’t change your voting patterns, bucko… I already flagged down your sock puppets)
A big batch of accounts joined last November
So, I got a list of all the accounts that incurred on the dishonest behaviour. I will be watching closely the next few polls, and I asked the peeps that warned me to keep an eye on the poll behaviour.
This is directly addressed to the person tampering with the Polls:
Please cut the shit and don’t make my life harder, dude. It’s a monthly porn poll, it ain’t that serious. Should you REALLY REALLY REALLY want a piece that bad, that you are willing to spend money to buy votes on a monthly poll, just commission me or another artist, the TF scene is full of wonderful artists ready to take your commission.
I want to warn you, I’m not going to play whack-a-mole with your sock puppets. Next time I see suspicious behavior I’m just going to ban your main one. I hope we are on the same page here.
And just a last thing, Patreon gives me plenty of tools and data to monitor the integrity of the polls, I have access to a LOT of info, which made it very easy to narrow you down:
If this person incurs on shenanigans again, I’m going to abort and remake the poll once they are banned. And since they always mass vote with the sockpuppets near the end of the poll, its probable that if a Remake is in order, the next pinup is gonna be late. Apologies in advance for that, but keeping the integrity on our community events is a huge priority of mine.
I discussed this with the peeps that helped me track the sussy shit going on here, and they suggested doing the actual winners from January and November, since they are the ones that got cheated out of victory. David won fair and square despite the influx of sockpuppets trying to cheat the poll.
So, what do you think? Should we make up for the actual winners? ;)

I support the single pinup idea for the real winners. Probably the best way to be fair to the ppl who rightfully voted for that art, but also be fair to you, who shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of some scammer. Sorry you were put in this situation, such a shame :(
